To be clear on the subject, the solaris swap command can be run with one of the two arguments -l or -s. Run with -s it behaves like the current swap plugin implementation (libkstat) and gives results about the solaris swapfs, which consists of the swap space provided by the swap devices (disks) plus a variable amount of RAM: r...@uv8801xr:/root> swap -s total: 7468592k bytes allocated + 6127480k reserved = 13596072k used, 7109144k available This can be useful for advanced sysadmins who have a good understanding of the solaris internals, as it implies being familiar with virtual memory, or the behavior of tmpfs (RAM/swap based filesystem). I personally find the resulting graphs confusing, as they show the usage of something which varies in time and is neither swap size nor any obvious combination of swap and RAM sizes. Running swap -l is more straightforward. It just gives a list of disk-based swap devices and their usage, which I think is what most admins expect: r...@uv8801xr:/root> swap -l swapfile dev swaplo blocks free /dev/vx/dsk/swapvol 242,5 16 24576704 23138752 I suppose the solaris swap utility internally uses either the libkstat or the swapctl method according to the option given in argument.
